Tube them all with Nickel tubes still wrapped in their paper , if they are tight enough only their edges will turn brown . Obverse and Reverse should retain their original mint luster ; Then salt them away for your next generations to inherit them . Keep in mind the environment which they will be stored in for all those years .

thanks for the comments all

i was planning on searching them but I dont know now.

as for going back to the same bank, I only like to go to the same bank once every 2 or 3 months... that way they dont see my ugly mug... but nowadays wearing a mask helps.

forgot to mention, I did not write that on the box.

I like to visit my banks frequently (like once a week when I'm in "heavy hunting mode") - it helps develop a rapport, and sometimes you'll get tellers who will save things for you once they get to know you.

That said, COVID has messed that up a lot for me, as several banks have scrambled their staffs and moved them or are just having them work fewer hours.

Going to disagree with opinions so far. I have had a few rolls of this design, it was full of carbon spots (the black spots) or had the white spots from the rinse. what didn't have it was scratched...most of it was junk so saving the rolls was a waste of time for me. the damage was done.

What I would do in your situation, is sit down with plenty of time and go through it and cherry pick down those 50 rolls to 5 rolls, the top 10% or best 5 coins from each roll.
then I would cherry pick it again down to the top 50 coins, of those 250 coins until I get down to the best there is which might be a candidate for MS67 or Possibly top pop MS68. or maybe none at all, but some nice album fillers. possible more than 250 coins are outstanding, but it's highly unlikely. MS67 or higher in a business strike is a rarity.

Most of the coins in those rolls are going to be messed up, no real need to sit on them like that unless you hope to, years down the road, sell the rolls as OBW, but you could do that now, they are worth like $1.50 a roll. maybe they are worth $3.00 a roll in 12 years more but maybe still worth only $1.50? That a lot of weight to hang on to in my opinion,for a long time for the money, but it's up to you.

For me, it's not worth the space or the time for that. but if my intent was to sell unsearched original rolls down the road, then sure I'd do it.

otherwise, I'd go through it for the best examples, narrow it down to the top 50 and save that and the other $24.50 goes towards another box of cents. with those 50 coins, then decide if any are possible to be MS67 or better and think about sending those in for grading.
